Oh and btw, the puppies will by no means be sold. If she does have a liter i will keep one myself and give the other(s) to my yorkie bearing family. Also, i don't want my post to cause any drama. I am just questioning. I'm not even sure if this is something we'd like for Ella. =] |
I just caught this post and glad you have changed your mind. I guess there are many questions one ask to ask themselves on why they want to breed. Here's a thread that is taken from the YT Library. You may have read it already, but thought I'd addess it anyway

On the fact of not wanting to spay your little girl. I'd like to address that too. Do you realize for every unbred season your girl experiences, you are putting her at risk of mammary cancer and even worse pyrometria. You are still risking her life. As a exhibitor/breeder as soon as my girls are retired from my breeding program (age 5) they are spayed. I don't want to risk their lives, even worse why put my boys through the agony.
